March 5 20XX
Hikaru, an apparently cynical and grumpy young man who ran away from home due to unknown reasons, in the last two years has earned for himself a really bad reputation. Even if he's dissatisfied with his current living condition, he can't find the right motivation to make a significant change and get back on track.
Aiko, on the other hand, is his complete opposite: lively and naive, with her behaviour she unwillingly wreaks havoc wherever she goes, and she always manages to overcome the hardships she bumps into. There's only one thing on her mind: achieving her goal, for which she is willing to give it her all.
Their paths, by pure chance, cross: to pursue their goals, they make a deal.
Hikaru discovers that numerous apparently non-human individuals are wandering the city streets and fighting to compete in a tournament with only two rules: don't kill your opponent and obtain their stamp. There are many questions about it: why has this fighting tournament been organised? What’s the price at stake? And why does everyone look so obsessed with winning that they’re ready to give it their all? Questions which Aiko - participant of the tournament herself - seems unable or unwilling to answer.
It’s up to Hikaru to find those answers. During their adventure, they’ll meet different characters — some will be friends, other will be foes. They’ll explore their reasons to fight, as well as their personal stories.
Choose your protagonist!
Take on Aiko’s mantle and face countless opponents in a mysterious fighting tournament, where your abilities and your judgement will be put to the test, or help Hikaru unveil all the mysteries and secrets that hide behind this tournament and its participants.
Whatever you choose… try to stay alive.

Finished reading Hikaru's route. It was an amazing adventure! I enjoyed watching Hikaru's growth as a person and seeing him becoming closer to the people he had met - Minato, Kyoko, Reko and of course Aiko. Aiko and Hikaru's bond is so precious ^^
The plot is interesting, but the heart of Neko No Sentouki is its characters. Everyone has a well fleshed out personality and a colourful sprite design with lots of details. The relationships between the characters are touching and heartwarming.
There are a lot of important events that happened offscreen - sadly, Hikaru wasn't there to witness them all. Looking forward to Aiko's side of the story in order to get the full picture ^^
P.S. I've unlocked all the images in the common gallery and Hikaru's route gallery, saw both of Hikaru's epilogues, and got maximum trust points with Minato and Kyouko. As for Aiko's affection points, I was able to get 9 out of 10.
First of all: thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the story of this small group, and I hope it stays in your heart a little bit, too!
I also wanted to say thank you for reporting the bugs, and I hope they didn't make your playing experience unenjoyable!
I promise that by the time you play Aiko, there won't be any! (And that above all, you will appreciate her route as much as Hikaru's!)
this seems like a really cool game, haven't really played a game with the 2 points of views concept
Thank you! I hope you have enjoyed the demo! :D
